Taylor Swift's Advice for Fashion Correspondent

Posted: September 11th, 2009 at 5:23 pm  |  By: Alison Bonaguro  

You'd think asking all the "who-are-you-wearing" questions on a red carpet would come naturally at awards shows. But you know what? It totally doesn't. Just watch any of these shows and you'll see amateurs mispronouncing designer's names, re-asking the same question twice and, worst of all, not listening to the answers. So enter Taylor Swift. She has given some advice to Ashley Greene (from the movie, Twilight), who is taking over Swift's gig from last year as the fashionista-in-residence before the MTV Video Music Awards preshow airing Sunday (Sept. 13) at 8 p.m. ET. First, she says Greene should have a couple of questions for each of the attendees, so she can prove she knows what's up with the musicians. And then Swift tells MTV.com that a good correspondent has to think on her toes. "You never know who's going to walk up," Swift says. "They're like, 'So, Pink and Katy Perry are walking up in five minutes. Be ready.' And I'm like, 'All right.'" Swift's "You Belong With Me" is nominated for best female video, and she'll also perform on the VMA show airing Sunday at 9 p.m. ET.

    I’m so sick of all the negative comments about her. People just might turn me into so much of a fan of her personally (I’m just not going to like her musicly (if that’s a word) until she improves the vocals and writes more mature music), that I’m going to start being her biggest cheerleader on CMT (other than Allison).

    Grrrr - grow up people.

    Hey, tired of the hype? Why don’t you find a hobby other than watching TV? I’m glad I don’t have to feel the way you do, really sounds sad. :( :( Awh!! Poor baby. Taylor is very popular. She don’t need to improve her vocals or anything. She is very, very entertaining to watch and follow her career. SHE IS THE WHOLE PACKAGE!! (and then some).
    Sorry to all the unhappy people, Gail

    What? Where are the fashion comments? C’mon Taylorwho?, you always pretend to know everything, surely you can make up something nasty about her clothes. I love Alison, but I swear she just tosses out some of these Taylor blogs to rile up the loonies! Anyway, here’s some good advice from Jamey Johnson: “IF you don’t like it, don’t listen to it.” And if you don’t like someone, stop reading and commenting about them! Or else be prepared for Alison’s next blog, “Taylor Bakes Caramel Delights!”(Boooo! Hissss!)

    Yes, JGail she is very popular and quite entertaining to watch, but of course so is Adam Sandler. I’m always in it for a good laugh. She IS a comedy act isn’t she?

    Jealousy is not healthy!!!!

  • Taylorwho? says:

    Posted: September 12th, 2009 at 6:06 pm  

    You’re absolutely right swiftly, so the swift fans need to quit being so darn intimidated by those who really DO know how to sing, and let people state so without attacking them. Taylornation is the most jealous of any fanbase out there. They think Taylor is God, and guess what. She’s not.

    Hey Alison - we will be watching how Ashley Greene gets the job done after all the expertise that Taylor gave her.

    Taylor just topped the 10 million total in sales of her cd’s worldwide!
    She continues to be everywhere and Faith Hill sang with Taylor last night during her sold out Fearless concert tour!

    WTG Taylor!

  • trink says:

    Posted: September 13th, 2009 at 8:43 am  

    I posted the video TJ it’s so awesome to see the two together on stage together. Faith Hill looks fabulous can’t wait for her new album to come out.

    Did you hear what Kayne West said during Taylor’s acceptance speech?! He really needs to apologize to her in front of everyone at the VMAs. Being a singer and song writer he should have more respect for her talent and even though Beyonce did not win, that is something he should of kept to himself. Very disappointed, now Im turning back to the Packer game!
